One of the weirdest books I have ever read. I honestly have no idea what happened and no idea how to rate it. Is it bad? Certainly not, but I can't say I liked it either. Kinda left me confused.

Mein dritter Zaimoglu Roman. Nach wie vor nicht überzeugt. Interessantes Thema, aber handwerklich fragwürdig.

Inhaltliche Gestaltung voller Klischees. Stil schlimm. Grässliche Dialoge, mehrfach übersprungen, kein gutes Zeichen. „Bewusste Verknappung“??? 240 Seiten, immerhin schön kurz.

Autor anscheinend ein Liebling des deutschen Feuilletons. Unerklärlich.

sprachlich ungemein packend geschriebener roman, dessen schilderung der berliner randexistenzen mich faszinierte, aber auch - teilweise körperlich spürbar - bedrückte. ein roman, dessen beklemmung man spürt, was kan ein autor besser machen?

Slabo.

Stil čudan (ne bih rekao težak, već baš čudan), bavi se turskom zajednicom u Nemačkoj, ali isto tako može da se kaže da se bavi bilo čim i ništa nije posebno, jedinstveno, drugačije (osim stila).....

Ozbiljno sam se namučio. Knjiga ima previše, vremena premalo, ne gubite vreme s ovom knjigom.

100 Seiten lahme Geschichte und wirres Gelaber!
Und vom Schreibstil will ich gar nicht erst reden. Finde ich persönlich ganz schrecklich!
Wenn das gehobene Literatur sein soll, dann bitte schön, dann bin ich gerne zu dumm dafür!
